In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. In 1913, you could have read Mr. Elliott's book, "The Truth About the Railroads", and you might have then been able to understand the position of the railroad companies . or not. It was a complicated situation: what Mr. Elliott called "the so-called Railroad Question". Effecting to pre…sent an impartial account (it is implied), the book presents a great deal of information. Howard Elliott (1860 - 1928) was President of Northern Pacific Railway from 1903 to 1913, and President of New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad from 1913 to 1917. So we know what side of the debate he was on. The Chapters:: 1) Coöperation between the railway owner, the railway employer, and the railway user. 2) The Individual, the corporation, and the government 3) The Conservation of Railway service 4) Rate-making and the government 5) The Relation between the farmer and the railroad 6) Agriculture, banking, and the carrier 7) Transportation in New England 8) Public opinion : its effect on business. Picking the book off the shelf of a bookstore, and perusing the first page of text, one might have said "Well now, this looks interesting!" : "INTRODUCTION : The time has now come for an impartial and serious consideration by the people at large, as to whether it might not be better for their interests individually and collectively, and for all business interests of the country, to give the railroads a breathing-spell, to eliminate some of the useless and unnecessary restrictive law under which they are compelled to work, and to permit them to solve the very serious problem of giving the public what it wants in railroad service and railroad facilities, by encouraging friendly relations and friendly discussion with the public, rather than to have constant friction and bickering. For many years, and particularly in the last few, there has been agitation about the so-called railroad question, or problem. Through lack of complete information about the railroads there has risen some antagonism toward them, and it is important to explain the real situation, because the American people, when they know the truth, are not likely to be unjust to any one class of people, or to any one business."

PLACE : Boston, MA DATE : 1913 PRINTER : Riverside Press, Cambridge, MA EDITION : First Edition STATUS : Out of Print - OP PROVENANCE : The book has the signature "Demetra (an initial - ?- could be an ampersand, or a G or …?)

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex and ever-evolving relationship between railroads, the public they serve, and the regulatory environment in which they operate. The author, a railroad industry expert, meticulously analyzes the historical development of this relationship, highlighting the ch…allenges and successes faced by railroads throughout the years. A central theme running through the book is the need for ongoing cooperation and understanding among these three key stakeholders. The author argues that a balanced approach, where railroads are fairly compensated for their investments while also being held accountable to the public interest, is essential for the long-term health and sustainability of the industry. Through a synthesis of historical context, economic analysis, and practical insights, this book offers valuable perspectives on the crucial role that railroads continue to play in the economic and social fabric of the nation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
